The suspension will begin at 6 a.m. and will run until 3:30 p.m. so that repairs can be made to the Algiers Point Ferry Terminal, the Louisiana Department of Transportation announced.

Pedestrians may use the Gretna/Canal Street Ferry or RTA Bus Service as alternative routes to the east bank.

Ferry service from Algiers Point will resume at 3:30 p.m. or when the reinstallation is completed. If the repairs are not completed by 3:30 p.m., the ferry will resume its route and another temporary closure will be announced for an additional date.

A portion of the terminal suffered structural damage following Hurricane Isaac. Passengers have been using a temporary ramp following the storm.
